Climb to the top of Lokrum (a cruel incline of 96m/315ft) to pay a visit to Fort Royal… a joint venture ;-) between the French, who started the construction in 1806 during the Napoleon’s occupation and the Autrian who completed it in 1835 and renamed it Maximilian’s Tower

May the 4th (be with you 🧝‍♂️), 2023 and we’re finishing up Dubrovnik with a visit to neighbouring Lokrum Island. So nice to be on a hiking trail on a small island surrounded by trees and the ocean together with friends. Oh yeah and peacocks, an abandoned monastery, a fortress and the Throne. Not to mention the infamous Benedictine monks’ curse on the island because of the French Army general who kicked them out after centuries of living there. We were warned not to bring anything back with us but we did manage to take a few pictures.

Fala, Dubrovnik.

BTW Here’s the extent of my Croatian (spelled phonetically) Fala - thanks, Bok - Caio, Dobro yutro (good morning), Dobro vacher (good evening) and jivoli (cheers).

On the move tomorrow to Florence via Air Austria through Vienna.

TMNT FIC REC:

Cleaning out my old closet and I’m finding stuff from my grade school years - especially when I first discovered fanfiction and fandom. TMNT 2012 was my first one (officially, although Stargate Atlantis could be another contender) and really helped me get through a rough time.

ANYWAYS

I needed to share one of my absolute favorite TMNT 2k12 fanfics that I read and fell in love with (and even did a report on at school 😅😅)

I have no idea if the author is on here ‘cause it’s been YEARS since I’ve read this but ahhhhhh, the chills and exquisite characterization is *chef kiss*

The best viewpoint over Dubrovnik!

If you want to enjoy really incredible views of this amazing city, known as the Pearl of the Adriatic, you should certainly head for Mount Srd! Not only will you see the whole city from here, but you also have a great view of the nearby Lokrum island.

How would you rate this view from 1 to 10? 🤔

Weekend in Croatia!

For Easter weekend, I took a trip to Croatia! Emma and I decided to go with Smart Trip, a student tour company. It was the first time we used Smart Trip. For our past trips we booked everything ourselves, so we liked that the transportation and accommodation were booked for us. It was nice not having to plan a trip for once, but I do think it is important to try to book most of them yourself. The trip was fun because it was 70 students studying in Florence!

We left on a bus on Thursday at 9 pm and arrived in Croatia around 12:30 pm on Friday. It was my first time spending the night on a bus, and I was worried I wouldn't be able to sleep. But it wasn't too bad, and I did get some decent sleep.

Our first destination in Croatia was Dubrovnik, and we stayed in Hotel Astarea. It was near the water and had such a beautiful view.

View from our room's balcony!

Emma and I had lunch in Old Town at a restaurant outside and had a nice view of the city and the water.

Love my Italian food! Most people order seafood in Dubrovnik but we aren't the biggest fans of it.

Next, we walked along the city walls for even more spectacular views!

The water is so blue!

We both bought postcards and some gelato. And we walked around the city exploring!

Then we took the cable car because we wanted to see the view of the city from the top. It was neat to see the walls surrounding the city. I really enjoyed visiting a smaller city for a change!

The island on the left is called Lokrum! Inside the walls is considered Old Town.

On Saturday, thirty of us on the trip went kayaking! That was probably my favorite activity on the trip. Emma and I teamed up in a tandem kayak. We had a guide who told us about the history of Dubrovnik and then took us to a little shore for lunch before kayaking back to the mainland.

I hadn't kayaked since middle school but luckily Emma knew what she was doing.

After kayaking, Emma and I grabbed smoothies before getting tickets to take the ferry to an island called Lokrum. This island is known for having peacocks, so we had to go! The island was also a filming location for Game of Thrones, so many people like to visit.

As soon as we stepped off the ferry we saw peacocks!

The island was so beautiful! We hiked around the island and up to the top of the Path of Paradise.

View from Lokrum.

Before dinner, we went to Buza Bar, a bar built into the cliffs. During the day people can go cliff jumping. It was a very cool experience, people were sitting all over the rocks, and the waves were just below my feet.

Buza Bar! The bar closes before dark for safety reasons.

We had some yummy chicken quesadillas for dinner because we can't get good Mexican food in Florence, and I was craving it.

Dubrovnik at night!

On Sunday, we left at 6:45 am to drive to our next destination in Croatia, a bigger city called Split. We arrived later than planned because we got stopped at the border in Bosnia for an hour and a half. The only way to drive to Split was through Bosnia for ten minutes, even though we were going from one Croatian city to another Croatian city.

Once we made it to Split, we checked into the Design Hostel 101 Dalmatinac and changed for the boat ride! We were on the boat from 2:30 pm until 8:30 pm, and stopped at an island for dinner. We made some new friends and saw the sunset on the boat.

Sunset view!

We had an early night because on Monday we woke up early to drive to Krka National Park to see the waterfall. The waterfall did not disappoint!

In the summer people can go into the water!

After an hour and a half, it was time to board the bus for the rest of the journey back to Florence. The drive took about 12 hours and we arrived around 11 pm.

Overall, I loved my time in Croatia! It was never on my radar as a place to visit initially. But, when Emma and I finished planning our weekend trips, this was the last one open because it was a long weekend. So, we decided to take the last two spots on the Smart Trip. I think the tour guide did a great job, and it was a very stress-free weekend. Dubrovnik was my favorite city; I loved seeing so much nature for a change!

Such beautiful views!

I will say that Croatia was more expensive than I thought it would be, and it surprised me. The food and drinks were good, but definitely overpriced. The cable car ride was 27 euros roundtrip. Walking the city walls was 35 euros. Since I didn't really research for this trip, maybe I could have learned that ahead of time, but I don't regret the trip at all! I had such an amazing time in Croatia and it is one of the top destinations I have visited.

Exploring Dubrovnik - Part One

During our one-week stay in one of the world’s most beautiful places, we definitely wanted to make the most of it and discover what Dubrovnik has to offer. Our apartment was located 15 minutes from the stunning old town, so walking was no problem.

The first thing we did was going to the old town (obviously), and we were amazed. Clean, beautiful, and atmospheric like no other place I have seen before. There’s so much to see! Beautiful alleys, stunning architecture and buildings that take you back to the medieval and roman ages. Of course the streets were really crowded, but that’s just how it is during the summer months down here. However it felt refreshing to be around others again, after almost two years of isolation..

We booked some activities, the blue cave tour was definitely a highlight for us. We were a small group of 10-12 people on a boat, and the driver took us to different stops. At first there were three caves you could swim/dive into. I definitely recommend buying water shoes so you don’t touch the sea urchins! Also there are lots of rocks you have to walk on in order to move forward in the caves, and they can get quite slippery. It was so worth it, and definitely our favorite part of the tour! Food and drinks were included, and everyone was in a good mood.

We also stopped at Lokrum Island which we discovered a bit, and the last stop was the blue cave. What I loved the most was jumping into the fresh water from the boat, and diving with my goggles on. Just heavenly.. I first thought the boat could get through the caves but you could only swim into them because they were too narrow. That’s why I couldn’t take any pictures inside, so find out for yourself and enjoy the views ;)

I highly recommend everyone to do this tour! It was private, which was good so the driver could focus on every single one of us. Since Dubrovnik is full of international tourists, you get to meet and interact with so many different people.

You can easily book the tour on Tripadvisor.

This was part one of my recommendations, stay tuned for more :)
